Sauvola Holds On For a Big Double
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
With around 60,000 in the pot on a flop of 6♦2♦10♠, Merle Sauvola moved all in for 90,000 from the small blind and Jonathan Aburto called on the button.
Merle Sauvola: Q♦Q♠
Jonathan Aburto: J♦10♦
Sauvola was ahead with his queens, while Aburto had top pair and a flush draw. The turn was the 7♥, while the 4♠ river was safe for Sauvola and he earned the double-up.
"That was scary. I'm shocked he called," Sauvola said.
